LSU running back and leading rusher Jeremy Hill was suspended indefinitely by LSU Coach Les Miles Monday for his role in an early Saturday morning fight outside an off-campus bar.

Miles handed down the decision after returning from New York City where he served as a guest draft analyst on the NFL network. The suspension was announced by sports information director Michael Bonnette, who later tweeted "LSU coach Les Miles said he will let the incident play out through the legal system before making any additional comments."

Hill, 20, was arrested and charged with simple battery by Baton Rouge Police for his role in the brawl which occurred outside Reggie's, 1176 Bob Pettit Blvd. in Tigerland. Police continue to search for a second person who may have been involved.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, the 20-year-old victim told police he was struck in the head numerous times and lost consciousness. Hill and a second unidentified man were caught on video striking the victim. With the aid of LSU campus police, Hill was located and detained near the West Campus Apartments, which was listed as his residence, and arrested by Baton Rouge Police.

Hill was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison at 6:30 a.m. and was released at 11 a.m. after posting a $500 bond.

The incident could be damaging for Hill, who is still in the midst of a two-year probation from pleading guilty to misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile in January of 2012, along with fellow Redemptorist student, Avery Tate. The two were arrested for engaging in a sexual act with a 14-year-old girl in the school locker room in December of 2010. Both were given suspended six-month prison terms and put on active supervised probation for two years with the East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney's Office.

Hill's attorney Marci Blaize could not be reached for comment. Blaize also represented Hill in his previous court case.

The suspension was the fourth time in the past year an LSU player has been suspended. Miles twice suspended punter Brad Wing for positive drug tests and kicked star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu off the team last August for multiple failed drug tests.

In August of 2011, quarterback Jordan Jefferson and linebacker Josh Johns were suspended for their roles in the infamous Shady's barfight. Later that season, Mathieu, running back Spencer Ware and cornerback Tharold Simon served a one-game suspension for positive drug tests.
